Quality Control

Our Potassium Citrate Monohydrate is produced under a strict quality management system. It can be manufactured to meet various pharmacopeial standards such as USP, EP, BP, and JP, as well as food-grade specifications like FCC. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the original container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent caking and degradation due to moisture absorption.
